  - In some circumstances, when DNSdist is configured to allow an unlimited number of queries on a single,
    incoming TCP connection from a client, an attacker can cause a denial of service by crafting a TCP
    exchange that triggers an exhaustion of the stack and a crash of DNSdist, causing a denial of service. The
    remedy is: upgrade to the patched 1.9.10 version. A workaround is to restrict the maximum number of
    queries on incoming TCP connections to a safe value, like 50, via the setMaxTCPQueriesPerConnection
    setting. We would like to thank Renaud Allard for bringing this issue to our attention. (CVE-2025-30193)
